On the Sacred World of the Kais, you, Son Gohan, dodge another of South Supreme Kai’s attacks. Below, Elder Kai sits and watches from a small table by a tree, Kibito setting down some tea for him. Behind the tree, Princess Snake meekly pokes her head out, unnerved by the power at display, even if this is more a sparring match between you and South Supreme Kai.

It’s been weeks since it all happened. Towa and Fu sending your dad, Shin, and Chiaotzu into who knows where or when, and absconding with the captured Tien back to the Demon Realm. Tarble’s world was thankfully spared from any real trouble, Dabura at least kept his word with Vegeta, though an attempt was made on some other allies, most notably the Galactic Patrol, though thanks to quick thinking from that Merus guy your uncle has been grumbling about it looks like they avoided the worst of it. There have been signs of what’s left of the Machine Mutants roaming the cosmos, but so far no major incidents with them have been detected, thankfully. Additionally, Grand Supreme Kai has gone to the Supreme Kai of Time to try and look for any leads on where at least Shin showed up… though there’s been no success just yet.

And that’s why you’re here. To catch up on things, train up a bit more with the Kais, and hopefully get some insights into what to do next. And… if you were being honest, it’s helping distract you just a bit from more unpleasant thoughts about what you could have done to prevent what happened. You dodge a chop from South Supreme Kai, then counter with a palm strike that hits his chest, following it up with the good ol’ Izumi Combo!

South Supreme Kai hits the ground, and you take a defensive position as he gets back up and dusts himself off. “Hahaha! Very good, Son Gohan. Nothing like clashing against someone directly to truly get a feel for their strength!”

“Good that you’re putting your potential to good use as well.” Elder Kai comments.

>A. So, wanna keep up is sparring match?
>B. I think we’re good on this bout. You guys mentioned helping me with some other skills, did you have any in mind?
>C. You know, I’ve been curious, have you and the Grand Supreme Kai seen any other things of note since you got pulled out of Buu, sir?
>D. Something else?

You lower your guard a bit, placing your hands on your hips. “Think that’s enough sparring for now. Got some other things we should try to focus on today.” Floating down, you first ask, “Actually, sir, I’ve been curious. Have you and the Grand Supreme Kai seen anything really notable since the two of you got pulled out of Buu?”

He strokes his large chin. “Notable how?”

“Just in general, really. A lot changed since the two of you were absorbed by Buu, right?” You look around. “Hey, speaking of, where’d you go, little guy?” As if on cue, you hear something snoring in the distance. Looking in that direction, you spot Buu beside the Muramasa, napping away on a large bean bag chair. “Well, at least you’re keeping out of trouble…”

“Ah, but of course. Grand Supreme Kai’s initial priority had been checking up on some sealed and vanquished foes.” the tall Kai explains. “Thankfully the old goat we faced so long ago was still stuck in his poweless state. Additionally, the trip to Konats had proven quite insightful. Grand Supreme Kai was able to determine more about the Majin, Hirudegarn, and the Kashvar that attempted to use it to bring destruction throughout the universe.”

Now that catches your interest. “Tapion and Minotia have filled us in with most of the story, but was there anything new the two of you figured out?”

“The summoning ritual used by the Kashvar is likely similar to the one Bibidi used, based on a recovered document the Konatsians saved for a millennia.” He gives a nod towards a storage structure off in the distance. “Or what’s left of said document, that is. The remnants of a spellbook.”

Intriguing. “How much of it is left?”

“One half a page in readable condition, with twelve scattered fragments of other pages. Overall, two and a quarter in total.” he replies. “The half page has some of Bibidi’s handiwork all over it.”

You cross your arms. “Guess the universe was dealing with the aftermath of his ambitions to a degree that even Shin hadn’t realized…”

There’s a soft grumble from the large Kai. “He was rather single-minded about his responsibilities, yet lacked focus on others. Should have kept watch out for things like-” South Supreme Kai stops himself and sighs. “No, that’s not entirely fair. He was underprepared and left with little guidance on what to do next. We should have done more.”

Kibito looks down in shame. “He did the best he could. I still feel I should have done more to help him as his attendant.”

“Eh, no use beating yourselves up over this.” Elder Kai states. “Part of the blame goes to a certain someone taking cat naps through many universe-threatening crises.”

The larger Kai exhales deeply. “That is one other thing we did look into. Last time he was active was approximately 36 years ago, going by your world’s standards, even allowing that Freeza some ‘delegated’ work.” Shaking his head, he grumbles, “Was tempted to set off some of those alarm clocks myself…”

Betting that’s that Beerus guy he’s talking about. “Well, I’ve been told not to catch his ire already, so no need to worry about that. In any case, how about we move on to the other reason I’m here. You said I might have other skills I can develop?”

That brightens his spirits. “Yes, that we did. So Gohan, the fact that you were able to utilize the Kai Kai indicates you’re still considered apprentice to a Supreme Kai. Tell me, have you attempted any healing arts yet?”

You blink. “...I can do that?”

“Yes, that should be within your abilities, as they are in mine.” Kibito confirms. “You were able to pick up exorcising quite quickly, and the Kai Kai without any significant help. Healing should be quite simple for you.”

“Nice! I mean, my mom learned that technique a long time ago, as have a lot of the rest of us on Earth, but if I can do it too, that’ll help out a lot.” you reply excitedly. “What else do you want me to attempt?”

“Once the Grand Supreme Kai returns, we should see if you can manage any sealing techniques.” South Supreme Kai states. “It may prove vital in turning the tide if beings like Dabura and Towa and their cohorts attempt anything like they did recently.”

>A. Well what’re we waiting for! Let’s work on that healing technique!
>B. Oh, speaking of the Kai Kai, have any things I should work on to really practice that?
>C. Sealing techniques, huh? Like the Mafuba? Or closer to what Tapion and Minotia can do?

“Sealing techniques, huh? Like the Mafuba that mom and grandpa Roshi can use? Or closer to what Tapion and Minotia can do?” You snap your fingers. “Oh, hey! Might want them over here too. Might be helpful if they can learn these things too.” You place your hands behind the back of your head and smile. “Maybe have some lunch while we wait?”

South Supreme Kai gives a nod. “Very well. Kibito, you know where the two are, yes?”

“Yes sir.” Kibito bows politely, then heads off.

The group of you head over to a small building, you picking up the sword in one arm and Buu in the other. Little guy is still napping peacefully at this point, but you know he’ll be happy to wake up to food. South Supreme Kai explains things as you all walk. “The sealing techniques are more than just sealing away dangerous individuals, they are also meant to seal away the power and abilities of those individuals.”

“Wait, really? How?”

“Putting limits on what can be drawn out, accessed through their own abilities or borrowed powers.” he states. “Often, especially powerful and dangerous threats may be prepared for even being sealed away through their own special techniques, but if they lack access to those in the first place…”

“Ah, I get it! …Why does it feel like there’s a downside to this though?” you question, Kibito appearing with Tapion and Minotia.

“Depending on the foes, such sealing techniques can take a substantial toll on the user. Sometimes near-permanent reduction in one’s abilities.” South Supreme Kai responds in a more solemn tone.

Tapion and Minotia look at one another. “That… sounds similar to what our Kami had to do, to seal Hirudegarn. Though that was to seal him completely…”

“Your Kami likely used up most of his Divine Ki to pull off such a thing, and likely some of his very lifeforce as well.” the buff Kai states. “Still, the fact that you both were able to hold in a Majin, even separated, likely means its power was weakened when it was sealed.”

“Don’t want to imagine Hirudegarn getting any stronger than it was…” you remark in a low voice, recalling how it was starting to transform before Izzy struck it down.

As everyone’s set at tables, Kibito and Princess Snake go fetch you all some food. Nothing too fancy, some rice bowls with veggies and strangely sweet, kinda nutty meats. Buu finally wakes up, and is more than happy to wake up to food, shoveling as much as he can into his mouth. You of course chow down, but to your surprise, South Supreme Kai seems to have an appetite almost as large as your own… though with some pretty decent table manners. He even gets an oversized onigiri and gets it to vanish almost as quickly as dad would.

…Aaaand repressing that sad thought.

And repressed.

That’s better.

“Say, how might the healing arts you guys are capable of different from the ones mom was able to learn?” you ask the Kais.

“Efficiency. Better utilization of Ki in restoring one’s body to proper condition, as well as restoring significantly more energy if one so chooses.” Kibito states, drinking some tea.

“Ahh, okay, that does sound useful!”

Once everyone’s finished, the Grand Supreme Kai appears near you all, removing a small ring from his finger. There’s… a melancholic smile on his face, one he doesn’t so much hide but attempts to shift into a happier one. “Son Gohan, good to see you here. And Tapion, Minotia, good to see the both of you again as well.”

You try to force a smile, but you can tell even without him saying anything: no luck yet. “Good to see you too, sir.”

>A. Don’t dwell on it. Let’s get started on those sealing techniques!

Apologies for the delay. Gonna be a short night, had to deal with a continuation of the stuff from yesterday. We're back:

>>5637746
For a brief moment, you contemplate if you can use those summoning rituals to try and pull out… say… a Saiyan from another timespace… maybe one lost in it? Eh, no, those are thoughts for another time. “So, basics on healing techniques might be the best for us all. Really useful. Though I’m curious about something else, Peppa learned something like that from the Yardratians, how does the godly version of the technique differ from theirs?”

“The Yardratian technique is about the same as the other mortal ones from what I have seen.” Kibito responds. “Meaning the answer should be the same.”

“Gotcha. Okay, ready guys?”

“Indeed.” Tapion agrees, Minotia giving a thumb’s up as well.

You’re all given the basics to start with, though it’s a basic you hadn’t really seen used before by anyone else: restoring damage done to a large tree. You… guess it makes sense, actually. It’s not quite the complicated system another person might have, even discounting alien biology, damage is easy to spot, and recovery is just as easy to confirm.

South Supreme Kai focuses, pulling his hands back, then giving two quick jabs up at the tree with each hand, several leaves falling to the ground as the strikes have left four marks to heal up. Kibito approaches, and explains that utilizing this skill properly requires understanding the damage done and how much to repair, but also the amount of energy that needs to be restored to the thing being healed. Interesting. He then demonstrates, healing one of the damaged spots.

You give it a try first, laying your hands on one of the marks… and it works! You undo the damage done to it, and you notice it’s even started to bud a few of those missing leaves. Tapion’s next, and he passes with relative ease too. And finally Minotia… and you notice he actually does even better than the rest of you did, with those leaves completely sprouting out.

Grand Supreme Kai smiles proudly. “Very nicely done, the three of you. Do take care to not overdo it, Minotia. While you’ve become adept at it at the first try, you must be careful when restoring another being’s energy, as it will still cost some of your own. If the gap is too great you may put yourself at risk.”

He nods. “I getcha. Though, all the more reason to get stronger myself, no?”

South Supreme Kai grins. “That’s a good way to look at it. May that training prove fruitful.”

>A. Any other things you want us to practice on?
>B. Okay, got that done, how about we get you two up to speed on the Kai Kai, Tapion, Minotia
>C. We should try to work on those sealing techniques soon
>D. Something else?

>>5638558
“Okay, now that we’ve got that done, how about we get the two of ya up to speed on the Kai Kai?” you ask Tapion and Minotia.

“I’m ready.” Tapion replies with a confident smile.

“Yeah, let’s do this!” Minotia cheers.

“Sweet! Oh, but, uh, anything else you want us to work on first, sirs?” you question the Kais.

“I believe the Kai Kai is a fine next step.” Grand Supreme Kai responds warmly. “Gohan, how about you demonstrate how you figured such a technique out on your own?”

“Well, I used what I knew of my mom’s technique as the basis.” You place two fingers on your forehead. “Attempting to sense out the place where I’m trying to go, just using the kind of… vibe of the area instead of a specific Ki signature. Zarid actually did it first, focusing in on his home. I managed it after picturing Penguin Village, and specifically where I could sense Buu in there.”

The little Majin puffs his chest out. “Buu helped!”

“That you did, bud. Anyway, once I got that down, I was able to teleport there. Is that how you guys do it?”

“You are definitely on the right track.” Grand Suupreme Kai acknowledges. “It does seem it requires more effort for you at the moment, though.” He looks around, spotting one of the moons in the sky. “Gohan, how about you try to teleport over there? Do not seek out energy signatures, but do your best to visualize a specific place.”

You look to that moon. It’s… the one you faced Pandel at! Aha! “Sure thing, sir!” Okay, focus on a specific place. And… there! Here it goes! “Kai Kai!”

A vast, mostly white-grey landscape appears around you. You did it! Haha, you did it with flying colors! Perfect! Looking up towards the Sacred World of the Kais, you grin in the direction of where you came from. Okay you’ve got this in the bag.

‘It would appear you’ve managed it, Son Gohan.’ Grand Supreme Kai telepathically remarks with pride.

‘Thanks, sir! Gonna have Tapion and Minotia come up here next?’

‘We shall work on it.’

Okay. Got a bit to yourself as they try to get here. Hmm… you know, you don’t think you’ve ever properly learned the Solar Flare. Hey, how hard could that be? Oh, maybe you can make your own version of it, like how you got the Shinryuken from trying Grandpa Bardock’s Heat Phalanx skill. Hmmmm… you could try to mix Light and Lightning into it, turn it into a SUPERflare! You float up a bit and turn towards the moon. Let’s see… it’s a flash of Ki that’s mostly a bright light, yeah? So put some Ki forward, mix in Light, and charge it with Lightning…

And AGH OW OW OW WHY WHYYYYY?! It’s like you hit yourself in the face with a flashbang made of electricity! You crash to the ground and groan, twitching. Okay maybe it’s harder than it looks.

“Hey I did it-!” A voice calls out above you. Three meters above you. It’s Minotia! …He’s upside down. And he falls, hitting you on the back head-first. “OW! Ugh… okay, mostly did it.” the boy whines, rubbing his head. And you let out a small groan as well. “Oh, hey Gohan! …Er, sorry for dropping in on ya like that, heh heh.”

You give a thumb’s up in spite of the numbness all over your body. He helps you up, and you shake it off finally. “Well hey, you did manage it. Er, why’d you fall though?”

He rubs the back of his neck. “Kinda… teleported in upside down, I guess? Heh heh, whoops!”

“Minotia, Gohan, you two okay?” Tapion’s voice calls out. He’s not far away himself, seems he didn’t need to focus on your Ki nearly as much as Minotia did.

“Just fine, bro!”

Okay, maybe with them there you can try a LITTLE better this time. And… hey, you’ve got a bit of an idea! “Hey guys, I wanna try out another technique I’ve been working on, and I think I’ve got a way to really make it shine. But we also should work a bit more on the Kai Kai.”

“What technique is this?” Minotia inquires.

“It’s gonna be like the Solar Flare, but a with an added twist to it. Some additional Magic, to produce a blinding yet also numbing effect. Like a kind of… Superflare.” Or at the very least you want what affected you to affect an opponent. “I was thinking Light and Lightning works together with it, but you guys have any thoughts?”

“A ‘Superflare’ huh?” Minotia asks, rubbing his chin. “Yet you’re only using like, bright lights and electric zaps? No… y’know, fire?” He waggles his fingers to emphasize his point.

“Hmm… that actually might work.” Tapion agrees. “If you can concentrate the Fire and Lightning into a type of plasma, that might stabilize it better. The heat would also provide a degree of protection if a foe gets a bit too overzealous.”

“Hmm… could be more complicated, but okay, I can give that a try.” Fire, Lightning, Light… well, you CAN use all three, you’ve got the training with them. That said, “Grand Supreme Kai, sir! Mind if we practice a bit more with the Kai Kai by going from moon to moon?”

‘That is an excellent idea! Though do be aware that it will not be as easy as this one. You will need to focus well and truly test yourselves with this.’

“I’m up for that challenge.” you reply, Tapion and Minotia looking to you and nodding. “Okay, let’s go from moon to moon, see if you guys can keep up, and I’ll keep working on this Superflare idea of mine.”

“Okay, I’m ready, Gohan! Take the lead!” Minotia cheers with a grin on his face.

You look to the next closest moon, one with significantly more water on it, you notice, and picture in your mind what that environment might look like. Focus… and there! “Kai Kai!”

There you go, you’ve teleported to what looks to be an oceanic world, with shallow shores and gentle waves. You fly off from where you arrived, looking for the next closest moon, while also focusing your energy around you. So… Light, Lightning, Fire… if you can mix those together, harmonize them, you can get this to work. Tapion and Minotia arrive on the moon just a bit after you, and start following after you.

Okay, next world… there! It’s a bit further out, but you think you can reach it! Significantly smoother-looking, yet with a number of noticeable fissures across its surface. Hmm… maybe it’s like one of the more frigid moons of the Sol system? Well, an ice moon isn’t too hard to picture. Just gotta focus… here it goes! Yes! It worked!

…Aaaahhh cold cold cold! Cycle energy through your body! There… hooh, definitely an ice moon all right. Now, Solar Flare works by bringing your hands to your face and letting out that built up energy in a blinding flash. So… apply that with the harmonized trio of Magics. You rocket off again, looking for a warmer moon to end up on. Let’s see… aha! That one looks a bit more hospitable! You sense Tapion and Minotia arrive again as well, though Minotia… didn’t quite stick the landing, it seems, as he’s stuck in a snowbank. Guess he needs to work a bit more on where he ends up. All right, one more. “Kai Kai!”

This next moon is definitely more hospitable. There’s… a calm, serene stillness to it. More of an atmosphere, yet it’s a bit more mountainous. You notice some structures in the distance, ones that look like stone and marble temples. Might actually be a nice place for meditation. Tapion and Minotia might not be here for a bit, and you want to try this out. Okay. Light, Lightning, Fire. A plasma that releases a bright flash and strong jolt. You make sure to point this away from anything even remotely important-looking, and…

“SUPERFLARE!”

That built up energy is combined together and released all at once with a loud and powerful burst of Magic, one that is thankfully not discharging into you this time. The bright flash actually keeps up for a bit as the plasma releases, sending that built up charge with it for a good distance. It does take a bit of time to really charge up, but this will work wonders in a pinch!

Okay, we are back!

>>5639560
With those bouts of Kai Kai training finally done, the three of you arrive back at the Sacred World of the Kais. Now, you might be able to squeeze in some training towards Sealing techniques, but that also might be better to save that for another day. Should be heading home in a while, after all. Or maybe you can get some ideas to work on at your own pace. Could also try some sparring with the both of them, just to get an idea on how they fight.

Let’s see…

>A. At least get the basics on a Sealing skills down
>B. Better take some homework from the Kais, work at your own pace
>C. Couldn’t hurt to do some sparring! Tapion and Minotia can join in too
>D. Something else?

Here's a possible rephrased version:

A. Make sure to learn the fundamentals of Sealing skills.
D. Let's explore other seal types such as Yurin's seal that aided us against Muramasa. We can also mention the seal that imprisoned Bojack and his gang in a star by the Kais, and the kashvar chant used to contain Hirudegarn.

Note that there's also the seal that transformed Elder Kai into a sword, but it might not be relevant to bring up.

“Hey, Tapion, Minotia, would you guys mind sparring a bit? Oh, maybe we can make it a tag team match, you two against South Supreme Kai and myself! How about it, sir?”

He smacks a fist into his palm. “Very well! Boys, let me see what you can do!”

Tapion and Minotia look at one another and nod, backing up a bit. Taking their stances, you and South Supreme Kai do the same. All right, here it goes. Grand Supreme Kai looks between the four of you, and with a raise of his hand, declares, “Begin!”

https://youtu.be/8sVftrC3Nlo

You make a quick dash towards Tapion, and to your surprise he not only dodges your initial strike, but even manages to send you into the ground with a quick misdirect. South Supreme Kai appears at your side and helps you up, but has to block a strike from Minotia that almost catches him off-guard. When he tries to counter, Minotia briefly activates the Raio-ken and gets out of the way, backing up to Tapion, who holds his hands out for the boy to land on. Tapion pushes upwards and launches his brother up into the sky, with South Supreme Kai leaping up to intercept.

But Tapion quickly fires a Brave Cannon at him, and you dash up to block the attack. It’s successful, but you don’t quite defend against it as well as you wanted to, and take a decent hit from the blast. The larger Kai manages to get to Minotia, but the boy once again uses the Raio-ken against him, swerving out of the way, utilizing his smaller size to great effect. As he gets behind South Supreme Kai though, you finally see an opening you can utilize, catching up to him, placing your hand on his back, and calling out, “Kai Kai!”

That teleports you and Minotia right in front of Tapion, the older of the two ending up on the receiving end of the younger one’s attack. The large Kai thrusts his fist up. “Excellent work, Gohan! You’ve adapted to using it in combat already.”

You grin cheekily. “Thanks, sir!”

Tapion and Minotia get back up, taking defensive stances this time. Okay, a good warm up. What to do next?

You stand beside South Supreme Kai, the two of you staring down the brothers. ‘Got an idea, sir. Ever hear of the Fastball Special?’

‘I don’t think I have. But it already sounds promising.’ he replies, body and mind focused. You give him a quick explanation, and he’s definitely on-board with it.

Tapion takes the lead again, with Minotia behind him, the two unleashing the Raio-ken once more. You and South Supreme Kai back up, but instead of getting in a defensive position, you leap up and allow him to launch you right at the pair. And you give it just a little extra, allowing the acceleration to help you build up enough power for a Shinespark right as you get close to Tapion. He attempts to use the Hero’s Barrier at the last minute, but you get to him before that, and knock him over and into the dirt. Minotia though got his barrier up just in time, and you end up bouncing up and off of it towards the sky.

The boy almost tries to retaliate, charging up a Ki blast in his hand, but the moment the barrier drops, he finds himself trapped in place. Turning back, Minotia sees that he’s been caught in a telekinetic hold by South Supreme Kai, then pulled right back into the recovering Tapion, crashing into him. The Kai looks up at you and gives a thumb’s up.

“Come on guys, don’t tell me that’s all you’ve got!” you call out to the brothers.

Minotia hops to his feet, declaring a defiant “As if!” and readying himself, aura surging around him. Tapion likewise stands up, prepared for what you might pull off next. Hmm… but what CAN you pull off next?

…

Ah, of course! ‘South Supreme Kai, sir, I’m gonna try out a new technique I’ve been working on.’

‘That blinding one you attempted just a bit ago?’ he questions.

‘Er, eheh, yeah. Noticed it already?’

‘Hard not to. I shall have Kibito prepare protection for the spectators and provide you an opening.’ Now his white aura blazes to life around him, catching the attention of the brothers. “Come then, boys! Let me see what you two can really do!”

In the distance you hear Elder Kai grumbling about South Supreme Kai being a bit of a hotblooded hothead, and worrying over damaging the planet, but he’s drowned out by confused complaining when a pair of Sunglasses appear on his face, courtesy of Kibito. Tapion and Minotia are forced to block as South Supreme Kai rushes them down, clashing with the pair and putting them on the back foot.

Okay, got your chance. Light, Lightning, Fire… charge them up, harmonize them, and be ready to release them all at once! You also notice that South Supreme Kai’s energy is quite a bit higher than what he was using previously. He’s definitely way stronger than Shin, honestly he might even be a decent match for Buu. Still, he’s being very deliberate with his attacks, using just enough to keep them on the backfoot, even kinda coaching Tapion and Minotia as he fights them.

“Guard up! Eyes on the openings!” the large Kai tells them, pulling his fist back and punching the ground, letting out a shockwave. “You’ve got the tools to deal with area-denial attacks, use them!” The two get see the attack coming, and simultaneously teleport away from danger. And that’s the opening you’ve been waiting for. “Good! But you never let your guard down, in case of misdirection!” he finishes… a pair of sunglasses materializing over his eyes.

And now you’ve gotten close enough for this to work! “SUPERFLARE!”

The attack blinds the pair, and the hits them with a stunning jolt! Tapion and Minotia fall back, and you float down closer to South Supreme Kai, the pair of you high-fiving. “Haha! Good match, boys! That’s been the best workout I’ve had in millennia! And Gohan, commendable skills, using what you’ve learned today right alongside something you developed yourself.”

“Thanks, sir!” You next float over to Tapion and Minotia, healing the brothers up. Oh these skills are definitely gonna come in handy down the line. No wonder mom picked up on some of them so long ago. Getting the two back to their feet, you next turn back to the large Kai. “Say, if you have the time, think you could help out some of South Kai’s champions here or there? Someone like Torbie would really benefit from what you can teach.”

He rubs his chin. “Hmm… might be worth looking into, though most of those aren’t among the living, are they? If they’re like the Kais of our time, any students they have are those who’ve lived virtuous, heroic lives and wish to keep training in the afterlife. While I certainly could drop by to help some of them continue those admirable goals, any training priorities should be the likes of you three.”

“R-really?” Tapion replies in slight surprise.

“Of course! You are dedicated warriors, students of the East Supreme Kai, and have both the drive to improve yourselves and protect the greater universe. It is better to let the living flourish.” He pulls the sunglasses down and gives you all a genuine smile. “Still, I will give your suggestion some thought, Son Gohan.”

“Hmhmhm, same as ever…” Grand Supreme Kai comments with a smile as he listens on, both he and Buu pulling their sunglasses down at the same time… with the little Majin agreeing with a nod, to your surprise. Huh.

Well, still, this was a good bout of training. You, Tapion, and Minotia all have some new skills under your belts, and the promise of further training another time. Plus you do have some things mom might be interested to hear about…

I wonder what's keeping the Time Patrol from going to the shard timelines and spiriting the displaced out of them?

Theoretically, they could use the Pendulum Room to follow through the shards to locate them. But, maybe that's too many tabs for the Pendulum Room's CPU to handle.

Or maybe the Time Patrol does know where they are, but aggravating the shards by traveling to and fro and changing them would just break time more, so they're on a temporary quarantine, that is, a temporal quarantine from patrollers, multi-versers, and epoch gamers.

So in the end, we would have to have faith that the displaced would get Back to the Present, but when and where that present is is anyone's guess.

>>5641499
Can certainly do that! Krillin would be more than happy to see what you've got.

>>5641829
The other issue with using the Pendulum Room to try to locate them is if it's used too often to look into places at random, there's a chance of attracting the attention of thing that would be a bit of a hassle to deal with.

The Time Patrol is doing what they can to try and get the three displaced people back home, but some of the easier tells to them being displaced, like two or more Gokus at one place for example, haven't helped. Though do keep in mind the idea of "aggravating" the shards and if there might be any consequences to that...

In any case, sorry for the delay again, but we're back!

You finally return home, greeted by Groucho first and foremost, with the tiger leaping at you and licking your face. Giving him some pets to calm him down, you and Buu walk into the house, and you notice that mom’s actually not alone here. Launch is with her, in her blue-haired state, a melancholic look on her face. She forces a smile as she notices you, but there’s still a degree of unease in her eyes.

“Hey son, welcome home.” Maple greets in a more friendly voice, though there still seems to be a degree of sadness behind it.

>A. Hey, uh, did I interrupt something? Everything okay?

“Heyyyy, uh, did I interrupt something? …Everything okay?” you ask hesitantly.

Launch looks down at her cup of tea, melancholic smile still on her face. Maple sits up a bit, looking to her, and she gives a small nod. “Well. Everything’s okay, yes. Launch… came to me to talk about something she found out recently.”

You see her hand move to her abdomen. “Tien and I are gonna have a baby.”

There’s an initial bout of surprise. “Oh! Congrats!” you tell her… and it starts to dawn on you the issue. “Oh. Oh…” You rub the back of your neck. “Er… sorry.”

“No no, it’s fine!” she replies in a sweet and sincere voice. “Just… I wish I could let him know.”

“...Ah. I, um, if you wanna keep talking in private I can go pester Peppa instead-” You look around, noticing she isn’t home yet. “…Huh. Where is she anyway?”

“She’s off with Videl still.” mom tells you. “Should be home soon, and it’s okay son.”

“Right…” You rub the back of your neck.

Buu breaks the awkwardness with an… innocent, if blunt question. “What ‘have a baby’ mean?”

And it means a lot of responsibility, and… uh…” And Buu just looks more confused. “Hey, I’m gonna get some snacks while mom explains! Any you want in particular, Buu?”

Maple flinches, but the little Majin cheers out a “Chocolate coffee candy!”

One of his favorites. You quickly dash to the kitchen and leave him looking to Maple attentively, getting one of the several Emergency Buu Snacks that Peppa’s gotten for you recently. You slooooowly move back, making sure Buu’s actually listening on. “-and most of the time it’s when they share that… special kind of bond-” Maple gives you a bit of a side-eye as you hand Buu the bowl of candy.

“Heeeey, looks like you’ve got this, and I just remembered I need to spend some time trying to purify the Muramasa.” You give your mom a sincere smile, walking backwards as you snap your fingers and point at the group, holding the sword with your tail. “Sooooo good luck!”

Launch actually giggles a little as Maple gives you a low grumble. Okay back to your room!

You sit down and place the blade on the mount you’ve gotten prepared for it and focus, meditating and chanting out, “Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao… Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao…”

The presence within the Muramasa takes notice again, and you make your will known to it as you chant, trying to once again quench out some of the malicious energy lurking within it. Buu’s still listening on to Maple’s explanation, so any progress today is gonna need a bit more focus. You do keep up the chant for a good minute, but don’t quite do more than the usual.

…Hmm. A thought crosses your mind as you stand back up. “Oh if only I had the help of the Hero of the Future, MIRAI KAMEN!” you declare, striking a pose.

…

Nothin’. Maybe he’s watching from afar? …Or busy. One way to test! “Guess you don’t want a look at my super cool, cursed sword!” …Nothin’. “Yeah fine, didn’t want you knowing about it anyway.” You grumble as you sit back down. Fu’s still not made any attempt to contact you, not even leaving any responses to your messages.

Oh well.

“Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao… Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao…”

The progress has been incremental at best, and… yeah the more you try to ease it, the more the Muramasa attempts to push back. It doesn’t quite have that same, dripping malice it did before, not seeking to corrupt and tempt you, more just… a simmer of anger, distrust, and a kind of self-assertion of its nature. Still, you’re not making much progress today. The Muramasa’s grown weary of your attempts.

Maybe you can try another method with the sword. You keep up a connection, but instead of trying to push out the corrupting influence, you just sorta… chill. “Look, I get it, you’re an accumulation of built up negative energy sealed into a sword and seeking to break free and continue your campaign of chaos. But at this point you have to understand that I’m not gonna let you do that. I don’t want you destroyed, though. I want to help. I think you can be more.”

There isn’t quite as much pushback against that one. Looking over to your guitar, you pick it up and practice a bit. And for a short while, you just… vibe with the sword, taking note of the kind of things it’s giving off and sorta translating them into notes. There is a good amount of discord that comes out, but you do your best to try to harmonize them. At the same time, you do feel small jolts of it trying to influence you, but you make it clear that you’re not simply letting your guard down. You make your own strength clear to it, and… it sorta reaches a bit of an understanding with you. A small one, but one nonetheless.

“Gohan!” Buu calls out to you as he opens the door, almost slamming it from sheer excitement. “I know how babies gets made now!” the tiny Majin declares, er, proudly.

>A. That’s, er… great, bud! Hey wanna help me with this?
>B. Give a quick apology to mom for that. She spend quite a bit of time explaining it…
>C. Probably don’t need to bother the sword any more today. Let it think on what you showed it just now
>D. Something else?

>A. That’s, er… great, bud! Hey wanna help me with this?
>D. Something else?
Hey Buu, you've seen us with various weapons, what sort of weapon would you like to try one day? A sword like me, or maybe something different like a mace? Heck maybe you can even turn a musical instrument into a weapon.

>>5643646
>B. Give a quick apology to mom for that. She spend quite a bit of time explaining it…
>D. Congratulate Buu for learning the thing. And comment how there's no real need to bring it up anymore, because people will already know or have someone to tell them.
Don't make it a rule or make him worry about it, just hopefully give him less reasons to make things awkward in the future.

>E. Vibe with the sword just a bit longer, try to somehow invite it to "say" something. Maybe about what it thinks, or feels, or wants to become, or similar. It's hopes?
Give it some opportunity for self expressing its will and determination. Within its current limits, at least.

If the sword declines to say anything, just let it reflect, merging it into >C.

Apologies, kinda passed out for a bit.

>>5643646
‘Heeeey, sorry about that mom. But I knew you could explain it way, way better than I could have.’

‘That you are right.’ she replies, definitely a LITTLE annoyed, but not as much as you were expecting. Might be in the clear! ‘Just remember this if I ever end up Granny Maple. You’re still young, son, but you won’t be young forever. Some day you’ll be giving that lecture. Speaking of…’

Oh no that TONE.

Noooo.

‘Matchmaker Maple, no.’ you plead telepathically, and turn your attention to Buu. “Hey little guy, that’s great! Congrats on learning it. Just remember that going forward, it’s not something you need to bring up much, okay?”

‘Gooooohan. You and Phantasma did seem to get along quite well last I saw the pair of you.’

You pinch the ridge of your nose. Great. “Also, Buu? Please take note that Maple has tendencies to try to get people together. You don’t need to copy her on that front.”

“Ohhh, okay!” the little Majin agrees with a nod of his head.

“Here, sit with me for a bit.” you motion and have him sit down near you and the Muramasa. “Can you feel anything from it, Buu?”

As you ask the question, you play a bit more of your guitar, letting the same vibe come over the room that you had going before. The Majin tilts his head, looking over the blade… and does seem to get something. “Seems grumpy!”

“Grumpy, huh?” It’s technically an improvement. “Let’s see…”

You keep it up for a while, but things… don’t really change that much. The Muramasa is still not really pushing back too hard, but it’s also only barely let you get your foot in the door. Buu’s presence does slightly ease it a bit more, to your surprise, but it’s not enough to really make any significant progress. Though, Buu does seem to understand its “emotions” so to speak a bit better, even if it’s a little reclusive at the moment.

Ah well. “Let’s let ‘em rest for now. How about we play some games, Buu?”

“Buu wanna play Kirby again!” he declares.

You grin a bit. Of course he does. Setting the Muramasa in a more secure place, you tell the sword, “Take it slow if you need. I still want to help.”

All right folks, that’s all for this tonight! We’ll be back tomorrow starting 6:30 pm PST. Did y’all have fun? Stay safe and see ya then!

Also, one more with Gohan, or switch to Peppa?

>>5643814
One more with Gohan, let's think of something that will take Maple's mind off of Goku, while not annoying her. Though, perhaps going over how babies are made didn't take her mind off Goku that much.

But, Gohan could stand to be less evasive with Maple. There was no scene where he gave her Rainbow back, so I imagine he just tossed it to her, said "here's your sword it's fixed now 'kay thanks bye!" and bounced.

It might be a little awkward being around Mom since he had flown off the handle that one time, exploded himself and went on a gap-year at King Kai's before her, and failed to save Goku from getting Samurai Jacked. Still, if Gohan keeps doing things half-assed, he's gonna be a 5/10 fiveever!

So, what are some things he could do for his mom? Prepare her favorite food? Or since she's a spooky space alien, they could go haunt people! Rolling cows over crops to make symbols is one way of doing it, or perhaps Gohan could even get Phanty in on the action to scare people too.

With the sword settled a bit and Buu relaxing, you take a peek out of your room towards mom. She’s seeing Launch off, wishing her well and promising to help as much as she can with the coming child. Maple then finds a spot on the couch and sits back, exhaling deeply. She looks… tired. Like just trying to keep things normal is significantly more draining for her.

>A. Head on over, talk with her for a bit
>B. Hey, it’s almost dinner time, maybe she’d appreciate not having to cook tonight
>C. You… should just let her be, really. Mom might just want some alone time
>D. Something else?

You walk over to her, sitting down opposite her. “I am actually sorry to leave you explaining that to Buu, y’know.”

“Well, you knew I’d explain it better.” she says with a smile.

https://youtu.be/ygbE4SgFZvQ

“...Hey, mom, how are you feeling?” you ask after a bit of hesitation. “Be honest.”

She keeps up the smile, sitting up a bit. “I’m holding up well, all things considered. How about you, son?”

“About the same…” you say, implying that you’re pretty sure she’s not holding it as well as she says she is. “Still… that sting of guilt that dad was… you know…”

Her smile grows more melancholic, and she nods. “Yeah. But I’m certain he’s still fine, Goku’s always been able to take care of himself, even if he has his reckless moments.”

“You sure you don’t want to talk about it for a bit? I’m here for ya, mom.”

She takes in a deep breath and sighs it out. “Well, for starters, I’d like you to not blame yourself over this, Gohan. I know how it looks, to you, but I also know my Goku. Your dad wouldn’t want you beating yourself up over this, and I don’t either.” She stands up, walking over to where she has Rainbow resting on her display. She gently places her hand on the sword’s scabbard. “You’ve gone out of your way to try and fix things you think are your fault, son. It’s crossed your mind more than once on how you can try to get him back, hasn’t it?”

“...I mean…” You look away and rub the back of your neck.

“Guess you get that from me.” she continues, looking back to you. “It’s crossed my mind several times. If I were to go there instead, if I had some people try to Multi-Form, if I we didn’t split everyone up, if…” Her smile finally disappears. “And yet each one of those come with their own risks. More people could have been displaced. More people could have ended up like Tien. More people could have gotten seriously hurt, or worse.”

You hang your head. “Yeah…” She’s right, things could have gone much worse. Can’t imagine what mom and dad and Peppa would go through if it were you that got displaced, or you and Peppa, or just… any other people. “Bottling any of it in?”

“Trying not to, as best I can. That should go the same for you, Gohan.” She walks back, sitting by you and patting you on the head. “Even if I know from experience he’s gonna be just fine, it doesn’t suddenly make those worries disappear. They’re natural feelings, and a sign you care. If we try to ignore those feelings, they’ll end up hurting more when let out.”

“Okay. I’ll try not to bottle things up. And… still, talk with us if ever need, mom. If I’m gonna take after you in wondering how I can fix things that have already happened, then I should take after you in trying to help people by talking with them, just like now.”

She ruffles your hair. “Sure thing, Gohan.” She then stops, noticing something. Her hand lays flat on your head, and then moves over to her head… and juuuust barely moves past it. She lets out a weak “Noooo…” as she realizes… you have grown ever so slightly taller than her!

You laugh softly and gently scratch your cheek with a finger. “Aheh, ah, sorry mom, but I can’t stay small forever. Especially since I’m still growing. And… hey, Buu’s still smaller than you!”

“...Need to check if Peppa’s at that point too…” she mumbles to herself.

“Hoooow about I take up cooking tonight? You can take the night off.” you tell her, standing up. “Have anything you want tonight, mom?”

“...Pancakes.” Maple tells you with the slightest pout.

There’s a beat of silence.

And you start to laugh. “Pftahahaha, you know what? Pancakes sound great. Breakfast for dinner!” you cheer out and walk towards the kitchen. Pancakes, maybe some bacon and egg fried rice to go with them. Sis would probably like some chopped peppers in hers, too. All right Gohan, this shouldn’t be too hard! You’ll have it all ready in no time!

…Hey where is your sister, anyway?

Sorry again for the delay, but we're back!

>>5644662
A few hours earlier, back with Peppa…

“So, yeah. Nothing useful out of them yet.” Videl finishes telling you. So the ninja are trying to get information out of Gero, to little success. They’ve also tried to get some stuff out of 21, with Trip’s help, though that hasn’t had much more success. Videl’s dad has taken charge of keeping watch over Gero, with 16 and 19 sticking with him to help him out, though neither of them have been able to get Gero or 21 to talk much.

You lay back, looking up at the sky as you both sit on the roof of a taller building. The two of you have had a decent training session just a bit ago, and now you’re trying to relax. “That’s too bad.”

Videl looks down at you, frowning a bit. “Yeah. Sorry we’re not any closer to finding where everyone went.”

“Hey, that’s not something you need to apologize for.” you tell her, giving a smile. “It’s… not been easy, but Izzy’s right. We’ll find ‘em all.”

The relaxation is interrupted by someone trying to contact you through your goggles. Sitting back up, you set them back down and… unknown caller. Could be another group trying to get endorsements, could be more spam, could be anything…

>A. Eh, see who it is. What’s the harm?
>B. Let it go to voicemail. You can deal with it later
>C. You know what still strikes me as odd? In spite of Dabura just willingly handing Gero over to us, we’ve not heard a thing from the Cell Sentai yet. I don’t like it, feels like they’re planning something
>D. Hey, I know we just had a sparring bout, but have there been any techniques you’ve been working on, Videl?

You look to Videl, and the two of you shrug. Eh, might as well. What’s the harm? “This is Son Peppa, who’s calling?” you answer.

https://youtu.be/jKPWItNkeBE

“Hello again, Son Peppa.” the voice of Mugen answers, loud enough for Videl to hear. “Doing well? I’d heard about what happened on your little blue marble. So terribly sorry!” He does not sound sorry in the slightest.

You stand up immediately. “…You.” your voice growls out. “What do you want? Because buddy I’d rather hear about my car’s extended warranty than play any of your games right about now.”

“Tempting as that would be, I just feel like you deserve a bit of a warning.” he responds in a cordial and polite tone.

Oh you don’t like the sound of that. “Warning of what?”

“Well, ever since the evacuation of M2, the Machine Mutants have been trying to consider their options on what to do next. And… some are less than pleased with you. In fact I would even say they have decided to place blame exclusively on you.”

“...What does he mean by ‘evacuation of M2’?” Videl questions with a tilt of her head.

“It’s exactly as it sounds. The world is no more.” Mugen answers, letting a strangely smug tint into his tone, almost like he’s about to add “Good riddance.” to it. “You were there, after all. Son Peppa guaranteed the planet would be no more.”

…

Oh.

Oh…

“The wish…”

There’s a chuckle from the other end of the line. “Hahahaha! Indeed! And because of that, a few have decided to go after the one responsible. You.”

“Why tell us this?” Videl asks. “Aren’t you with them?”

“Oh no, no. I may be from M1, but I consider myself more… neutral, if anything. But you’ve amused me greatly! You’re a fascinating fighter, skilled, smart, and strong in ways few could even comprehend! Not only that, you and your allies have helped get me new fighters, and reinvigorate some of my old collection. I owe you, a-” He stops, and there’s a strange pause. “…Well there goes the neighborhood.”

Okay there are a hundred questions swirling around your head right now. First though, “Er… thanks? I think?” He did go out of his way to warn you when he probably didn’t need to. “Now what did you mean by that last part?”

“Oh it’s nothing too serious. Let’s see, just need to get a status report…” And another pause. “Good! Good good, good, gooooo-oh that’s unfortunate.”

Pinching the ridge of your nose, you ask, “Mugen. What happened?”

“Ah it’s fiiiiine, M1 just had a bit of a chaos erupt over the, er… sudden disappearance of Museio and a few other things. This should sort itself out in- OH! Oh no!” An almost human-like gasp comes through the line.

“What, what’s wrong?!”

“No, it got my favorite explorer hat!” he exclaims with genuine concern.

You nearly slip and fall off the building. “You’re… not serious, are you?”

“Very much so! It was a nice hat.” he replies in the most earnest voice you’ve heard from him yet.

Your eyes slowly blink. “Right. You’re still not concerned about what’s going down on M1 then?”

Mugen dismissively replies, “Not especially. Gives you a bit of time though, they’ll be squabbling among each other as they try to sort things out. I give it… a few months your time? Give or take.”

Okay. Okay that’s good. You think. You hope. “Wait, what of General Rildo? His body was the planet M2, so…”

“Oh he is quite dead.” the Machine Mutant tells you cheerfully, clearly happy to deliver that news. “Gone along with the planet. His successor was the one who actually started up the faction blaming you. Shame, hoped he wouldn’t have a stick shoved as far up his-”

“Successor?” Videl repeats. “What do you mean by that?”

“Simple, truly. The next Supreme General of the Machine Mutants. And already proving himself a vengeful bore, if you ask me.”

…An idea crosses your mind. “Mugen. Say I were to… oh, I don’t know, try to make it up to them in a less violent manner? They’re missing a planet, so maybe, well… I could try to get them a new one?”

“Oh I’ve seen some propose that avenue several times. But the attempts started have stalled thanks to some lack of direction, conflict with the Galactic Patrol, aggressive negotiations with the PTO…”

“Maybe I could get one quicker. One they could thrive on. I’m not expecting us to all get along if it happens, but, it could ease things a bit.”

Videl raises an eyebrow at you. “Peppa, what are you planning?”

With a grin and a wink, you say, “Maybe a wish could help sort things out.”

Videl listens in on your plan. And she seems… iffy on it. “Okay like, it’s a nice gesture and everything, but are you sure that’s the best idea?”

“It’s something I can offer for them, no? At the very least it’ll be a peaceful gesture.” you retort.

Videl frowns and points out, “That’s still months away. Remember, the Dragon Balls were used at the Tournament.”

“Riiiight, but that’s not the only option have available, right?”

She blinks and tilts her head. “What do you mean?”

“Well, maybe we can FIND them a planet!” you declare confidently. Videl isn’t quite catching on, raising an eyebrow at your declaration. “We know someone who’s in the business of trading planets, right?”

Her eyes widen in surprise. “Wait… oh! I mean, yeah, I guess we do.”

“So, Mugen, if we were to try to get a replacement from the PTO, what would we be looking for?” you ask the Machine Mutant.

“Either a planet with the same degree of nanomachine metallics covering its surface as M1 and M2 had, or a more inert metal world that could easily be industrialized upon and repurposed.” he answers. After a pause of thought, he adds, “Or enough space stations to make a small moon out of them. Ah, shame the Big Gete Star’s gone kaput.”

“Yeeeaaaah not gonna bring THAT back.” you mumble, recalling what went down on Z’S. “Okay, so those might be some leads to go off of.”

“Yes yes, though I should warn you, I don’t believe the PTO and Machine Mutants are on the best of terms still.” he adds. “You know, on account of… well, everything that happened barely a year ago.

“Okay, then do you think it’d be better to explain my intentions to the Machine Mutants? From the sound of things another planet might not smooth things over, and if anything just giving them another world might prove a bad idea depending on who ends up in charge.” you question Mugen. “I’d like to make peace here, sure, but it’s gotta be a two-way path.”

“It might smooth things over with some, but others…” Mugen lets the last word linger for emphasis.

“Right, right… okay, so it’s at least an option.” You cross your arms and sway your tail behind you as you think this over. “Namek still has active Dragon Balls, so if it’s a bit too much to ask of the PTO, we can check with the Namekians.” you comment to Videl.

She’s not completely on-board with what you’ve proposed, but seems glad you’re thinking things through a bit more. “Okay, what do you intend to do?”

So we buy the planet in the name of Satan, but we need capital to do this with. How do we get that?

Is there a space bank that would lend us that? Does the PTO deal with mortgage bonds? Ooh, maybe we could take out a mortgage on the planet, then sell it (and the debt) to the Machine Mutants, then it would be their problem!

So with the planet we'd pick out for the Machine Mutants, it would only be for them to survive on, precious metals in the most precious sense. There wouldn't be life for them to conquer and expand with... and they would default on their payments!

Then we start borrowing stock and shorting positions within the PTO, using the funds we got from selling the planet to the Machine Mutants, all in anticipation of when this planet tanks. Then when the PTO's is devalued, we can buy up their real estate and make the PeppaTO!

And then Kuriza will kry, ahahahaha!

“Well… they may be less than willing to accept my help, but… what if they didn’t think it was solely my idea?” you tell her with a bit of a cheeky grin. “If one of their would-be leaders could be seen forcing my help as a concession… or, hey, it could be YOU, Videl!”

She blinks and exclaims, “M-me?!”

“Yeah! You’re a known quantity to them, but not quite their focus. If this could look more like a team effort led by you, that might ease tensions a bit…” You snap your fingers. “Especially with Kuriza! At the very least we can get his opinion on this. Mugen, once we get this set up, think you can help get a meeting with whatever Machine Mutants might be willing to hear us out?”

“No promises, but if I do succeed, I might ask for something in return.” he replies with a tone you’re not sure you like but can’t really argue with right now.

“Okay. Videl, can you help me sense out Kuriza’s Ki?”

“Sure. Let me give ‘em a quick head’s up.” She gets her phone out and types a message, then places her hand on your shoulder, and the two of you close your eyes. He’s quite a good distance away, but you get a good read on his Ki. Okay, there we go!

The two of you appear in what looks like a throne room, and your sudden appearance catches a number of guards and others by surprise. “Videl! Welcome, welcome!” Kuriza on the other hand is more than happy to see her there, and eases everyone with a wave of his hand. “Ah. Hey Peppa.” he remarks more neutrally, walking towards you both after hopping out of some personal hoverchair of his. He’s wearing an outfit similar to the ones he and Videl wore for the Tournament, though with the addition of some fancier PTO armor over the chest, cape attached to the shoulderpads.

“Hey!” you greet warmly.

“From your message you seemed to need my help.” he remarks, tapping his Scouter. “…with something about a world that was destroyed?”

“It’s… a bit of a long story.” you say as you rub the back of your neck.

“I have time.” he says confidently. After a beat, though, he calls out to a koala-looking alien, “Sorbet, make sure I have time!”

“L-Lord Kuriza, this is highly irregular…” he complains, shoulders slouching.

“Yes, it is.” he acknowledges. He then motions for you and Videl to follow him without any further remarks to the koala guy. “So, long story you say?”

“Well…”

As you all walk and talk, explaining what happened with M2 and the Machine Mutants, passing along a few people that keep greeting and saluting Kuriza in a friendly manner. You arrive in a smaller, more personal-looking room, part office, quarters, and… er, playroom. You see some alien figurines, action figures, plush toys… oh hey he’s got some game consoles from Earth!

Kuriza sits down on a chair that’s like a giant bean bag, yet filled with some more foam-like material given how he sinks back into it. “So the Machine Mutants lost their other big world, have been trying to reestablish themselves, but likely have just erupted into some kind of internal conflict. You on the other hand were hoping to find them a new planet in order to ease tensions between not just them, but the rest of the universe?”

“That’s a decent summary of it.” Videl nods. “Anything to add, Peppa?”

“We also don’t want to encourage them to take over more planets, repeating what they did with M2 and attempted on other worlds. The catch is, they have some particular worlds they’d need, ones we’d prefer weren’t… you know… acquired by unsavory means.” you explain. “One with nanomachines that cover the planet’s surface like M1 and M2, or more inert metal worlds that could easily be utilized by them.”

“Hmm…” Kuriza rubs his chin, tapping his scouter. Some screens in the room come to life, and he stands back up again. “I can’t make any promises with this, but I can at the very least go through the catalogue of worlds known to us. I doubt any inhabited planets like the homeworld of the Metalmen would fit this criteria, but it could be a decent starting point.” He floats over to one of the screens, tapping on some buttons and scrolling down a bit, finally inputting some things into it. “All right, search order has been given.”

“Anything we can do to help?” Videl asks.

“Oh absolutely, if you are offering.” he replies with a nod. “I could show you how to operate the archives… ooooor we can let the pros handle that and relax a bit.” Kuriza points a thumb at one of his game consoles. “I’ve been looking for an excuse to spend time away from ruling all day, and you two gave me the perfect distraction. What do you say?”

Hey guys. I'm very sorry, had to deal with some pretty annoying stuff related to work earlier, and it ate up a good chunk of the time I'd normally have to run. I'm sorry this keeps happening, but I don't want to leave y'all with nothing tonight. So real quick, gonna post this and then just turn in for the night.

Again, I apologize for this.

>>5648554
Welp, sorry about that.

>>5647968
“Hah, hell yeah! Pass me a controller, let’s see what games you’ve got!” you say as you pump your fist into the air. However, you do feel the need to point out, “Say, uh, this isn’t going to get on the nerves of… Sorbet, was it?”

“I’ve done more than enough serious work today, and I can technically claim this as looking into a potential new buyer we’ve never worked with before.” Kuriza responds, floating over and getting a copy of… a game you are DEFINITELY familiar with. “Besides, Videl introduced me to this one. What’s our win/loss ratio at this point?”

“After you started using anyone other than Mewtwo, or before?” she questions with a smirk.

Kuriza laughs. “Hah! Oh I’m gonna make sure I’m in the positive on both counts by the time we’re done.”

Before you all start, you do think to ask, “...Say, um. You’ve heard about what happened with Towa and Dabura on Earth, right?”

The boy’s face grows solemn, a frown on it, but an understanding one. “I have, yes. I’m… sorry I wasn’t able to help.”

“Hey, it wasn’t your fault it happened.” Videl tries to reassure him.

“I know, but I’ve declared Earth under my protection before, and yet when a significant threat came to it, my response was middling at best.” he tells her with a sign. “But my failings aren’t in the same league as what you and Gohan must be going through.” he acknowledges as he turns to you. “I am sorry, Son Peppa.”

You rub the back of your neck. “Hey, hey, no need to take it like that, just… well, have you guys been bothered by them recently?”

“Not to my knowledge.” he replies.

“That’s good at least.” You take one of the controllers. “Have any ideas on going forward, advice, thoughts on what to do?”

Kuriza thinks for a moment, finally sitting back down in his chair. “Any leads to go off of?”

You shake your head. “None yet. Even the Supreme Kais are working to try and help, but…”

“Well then I’d focus more on what you can do now. Train more. Figure out how to fight them better. Help those who need it.” He smiles at you. “You’ve been doing all those things already though, haven’t you?”

“Guilty as charged.” you reply with a little laugh.

“Then the last thing I have to recommend is try to relax more.” He brings over two other foam chairs with telekinesis. “Take a seat and watch as I win match after match.”

“Oh it’s on now! Let’s go!”

The three of you get settled and have a few matches. Kuriza’s actually surprisingly good at Smash, and from the sound of things it was something he and Videl practiced with during downtime with their training, as a less serious team-building strategy and just general fun. Videl still sticks with her main of Captain Falcon, while Kuriza demonstrates surprising skill with Geno. You and Jill though can’t be stopped once you’ve got the ol’ Third Gear combo set in motion!

“Ooooh, almost got ya this time!” Kuriza grumbles.

“Almost. That surprise combo you and Videl got had me sweating a bit, I’ll admit. Counting on someone to jump to dodge the Geno Beam and trying to hit ‘em with The Knee is a good combo.” You give a cheeky grin. “Buuuut The Knee needs to connect for that to work.”

“Yeah yeah, I’ll still get you yet.” Videl mumbles at you.

“Say, you did mention training earlier, Kuriza. Feel up to for a bit now that we’ve had some fun?”

“Certainly!” he declares as he stand up and stretches. “We have a few purpose-built areas for just such a thing.” He starts walking forward, motioning you and Videl to follow with his tail. “Similar in design to those Gravity Chambers on Earth, just with a slight more focus on structural integrity.”

Videl gives a nod. “Not quite as intense, but still good for a workout.”

You crack your knuckles and grin. “Sounds good. Let’s go.”

The room you arrive at is actually rather large, an arena at least comparable to the one at the Mifan Tournament. He stands at the ready, looking at you and Videl. “So, how do you want to go about this? You two against me, free for all, or do you want to work with me again, Videl?”

She glances at you, “Got a preference, Peppa? Also, how intense you wanna take this?”

“I can take you both on!” you declare, powering up. “Focusing on our skills and techniques first would be smart, then working our way up to our strongest states. I especially wanna see that Golden Form you managed to unlock, Kuriza. So let’s push our limits, work on our stamina, and try to come out of this even stronger!”

Videl smiles and walks over to Kuriza, the two standing side by side. Her white aure flares up and contrasts his purple aura. “All right Peppa, but don’t get think this’ll be easy for ya.”

Kuriza looks in the direction of a little viewing platform, gives it a nod, and suddenly the gravity of the room increases a couple dozen times what it is normally. “Let’s begin!”

You start things off by bringing up as much power as you can without transforming into Super Saiyan, holding back from fully transforming, blocking and dodging Videl and Kuriza’s initial attacks. You swerve out of the way of an Eagle Kick, then catch a tail strike from Kuriza and swing him back at Videl. Following it up, you use Instant Transmission to teleport between the two and deliver Rasenken strikes as quickly as you can, putting them on the back foot. Hah, don’t think this’ll be easy? You’re more than capable of keeping up with the two of them at this point.

But that’s when Videl and Kuriza both manage to finally trick you, the two of them using the Raio-ken together to dodge what would’ve been a spin-kick that would have hit the both of them, finally taking things up a notch and hitting you with a double dropkick, Videl’s aura surging red as Kuriza transforms into his true, base form. The power behind it is more than enough to knock you down, and as you try to get back up, finally forced to use Super Saiyan and attempt to drill into the floor, your arm’s caught by Kuriza’s tail. You initially start to hold back with the full power of Super Saiyan, but that gives the two of them have both the power and speed advantage that you’re struggling to match, much less overcome.

And though you almost want to kick yourself over it once it passes, you actually do end up falling for a trick the pair just tried against you in Smash. You dodge a frigid beam attack from Kuriza, only to get knee’d in the gut by Videl, noticing that her aura had shifted again to a white one, this time with a surge of it concentrated around her leg. You’re impressed! That was some great teamwork. You’re also laying on the floor letting out a groan of pain because OW.

“You all right there, Peppa? Need us to hold back a bit?” Kuriza questions in a very slightly teasing tone.

Flipping up from the floor and getting back on your feet, you charge up into Super Saiyan 2 now, and bring out its full power and breaking the limits of it. “Ain’t done yet. Still gotta make you go Gold.”

This time you fight a bit more defensively, pacing yourself to conserve as much stamina as possible in this state while still holding back against their attacks. You avoid one of Kuriza’s Avenger Auks, his fist slamming the floor and bringing up crystals of ice that immediately crack and compress. You then avoid a Falcon Kick from Videl, leveraging her momentum by following up with an elbow strike to her back so she hits the ground hard. In spite of that, she’s managing herself exceptionally well, not really showing much loss in stamina.

Kuriza meanwhile isn’t quite at that point yet, you do notice him showing more visible exhaustion as you do your best to avoid his attacks. So instead you try coaching him a bit, dodging and countering his attacks, but also showing him how to not use up so much of his strength when you deliver some hits of your own. Even so, he has DEFINITELY gotten even stronger since the Tournament, able to match you well even as you’ve broken the limits of Super Saiyan 2. It’s more thanks to your own skills that you’re able to wear him out.

After you kick him back, Kuriza’s finally ready to take things a step further. “Okay then, you want to see that Golden form? Then so be it! This is the power I’ll use to protect my Empire, and all our allies! HRRRAAAH!”

Videl moves beside him as a golden aura flares around his body, and once again, he transforms. The power is intense, and while he doesn’t quite seem to have a full grasp on maintaining it, visibly panting as his body holds in the tremendous strength, it’s better than what he managed during the tournament for sure.

Videl looks between the two of you, and steps back, more ready to help Kuriza if his stamina runs out than try to keep up with him in this state. “You ready for this, Peppa?”

https://youtu.be/gVDj8pBOPEg

“More than ready.” You bring up as much of your power as you can, shaking the room as you hit Super Saiyan 3 even in spite of the heavy gravity, and even start to throttle your Ki more as you get ready to break your limits. Gonna try to test how well Kuriza’s managed his stamina in this form, but also how well you can take a hit from one of his attacks. All right, here it goes!

He dashes forth, immediately going for a quick right hook. You’re able to see the attack coming, and while his speed is incredible in this state, you manage to dodge it completely! It’s followed up by another quick jab, and then a few more, and you swerve and dodge away from each of them, narrowly avoiding his fists, some blows just barely grazing your significantly longer hair. Kuriza’s attacks then pick up the pace, but as you’ve started to get a good read on the rhythm of his attacks, you do your best to attempt a couple counter attacks.

They… don’t quite have the result you expected, as even while you manage to get in a couple elbow and palm strikes as counters, they don’t really do much to him. Even completely avoiding a powerful hammer blow that leaves a noticeable crater in the floor in spite of him not actually hitting it, then following it up with a Rasenken to the back of his head, Kuriza just barely stumbles forward, like you’d gently shoved him. Even trying to use a Wind-boosted Kiai after that to follow up only barely moves him. But it does give you a chance to back up just a bit and finally bring out all your power, your aura taking up a blazing red tint, mixed with the gold of Super Saiyan 3.

Kuriza turns on his heel and fires a Ki blast at you, and you bring up your guard. It’s not one of his strongest, but it could still knock you down for the count. All right, this is it! The blast strikes your arms, and you do your best plant your heels on the floor, even trying to use your tail to keep your balance. And… the attack pushes you back even with you blocking it, and your feet dig into the floor, scraping through it, leaving three trails as you’re forced back by the blast.

“HhrrraaaAAAAHHH!” You fling your arms out, managing to break the Ki blast and stop it from pushing you back any further. You did it! Holding your ground, you stare Kuriza down, welcoming one more attempt.

He meets that with blistering speed, and this time goes for an uppercut. You back up a bit and avoid it… but Kuriza doesn’t stop, using the momentum from the uppercut to spin in air and punch back down at you. Using both hands, you block the punch, a shockwave echoing out across the room. He stays there for a moment, panting, then pulls his hand back. He’s still managed to keep hold of his Golden form. “Whew! Not bad, Peppa.”

“Y-yeah, not… bad…” Aaaaand your hands are numb. Your ARMS are numb. They hang at your sides limply. Doesn’t… feel like anything’s broken, but oh ow ow ow ow!

>A. Okay, I think that’s enough sparring. At least, let’s not go again until I can feel my arms, haha…
>B. Think you can hold that Golden form for a bit longer, Kuriza? My legs ain’t broke! Come on!
>C. Videl, got anything you wanna try before we call it quits?
>D. Something else?

>D. Ask and reflect how well the both of you can stay transformed in each of your current condition. But don't actually test the limits of that.

Probably Kuriza could have a better sense for his energy limits, and how well Peppa can... hold her form while distracted by pain?

But yeah she should stop recover pretty soon.

>D. "And now, I shall show you my secret technique! Chili Pepper Punch Mark 2!"
>Make like you're going to do a side-kick, whap him in the face with your tail. Make sure your tail is SPARKING so it acts as a tazer.

Sounds like the plan of a masochist! Could work.
